Hey dude,

not noticed that yet, will have a look to see if it does it in mine, when i book another flight in the viscount (has to cancel this one PC keeps overheating) till I get me case sorted, just got halfway through flight from Teeside to Jersey, brahmin flight, followed the checklist everything sweet and dandy cruising along at 200 knots FL 160 and PC decides its going to reboot (GC too Hot again due to side panel fan U/S, imagine how happy I was!
Hope you having better luck than me!

all the best

Not seen that Karl :think: Did 2 short Viscount flights a couple of nights ago and all was as expected. See if you can duplicate it on the same flight (or a similar flight) and give us as much detail as poss :wink:

Karl..

Just in case your aircraft.cfg isn't updated correctly as per the Viscount manual, I've uploaded two of mine for you to try. I have a lot of Viscounts and different Viscount panels so I keep the aircraft types separate.. it makes them easier for me to keep track off. First file is for the 802srs paints and the second is for the 810srs paints..

802
810

If in doubt, use my 802 cfg and cut and paste your paints onto the top if that makes sense (deleting my paints first). Make a backup of your original :wink:

Hope this helps :smile:
